Renaissance Discovery American Pale Ale - New Zealand


Marlborough has a big reputation for its Sauvignon Blanc wines. This Pale Ale has been brewed in Marlborough, New Zealand, by an American brewer.

It does not have the "in your face" hoppiness and bitter finish of the American Brewed IPA's I have tasted, this may be a result of the local Nelson, New Zealand, grown hops.


This Ale poured a beautiful golden colour and has a lovely hop aroma. It has a lovely malted sweetness and pleasant hop flavour without a bitter finish.

The brewer recommmends this Ale as "a tasty quaffer" best enjoyed with Thai or Mexican food, I cant argue with that!

SCORE 3.8
